Essentials only. For the days that you’re just running errands or going for a stroll, and you want to leave the full sized handbag at home, Rebecca Minkoff has you covered. This Isobel phone purse may be tiny and lack the luxury of additional compartment space, but it packs one serious punch when it comes to style.

Rebecca Minkoff is taking on the minimalist trend and it’s nothing short of amazing. This leather phone-size version of Rebecca Minkoff Isobel Bag features buttery soft pebbled leather, a long braided shoulder strap, and two jumbo tassels. The boho-chic vibe is spot on for spring / summer! Just drop your phone and cards in and you’re good to go. Now only question I have is, what to do with the keys?

You might find this hard to believe, but I’ve walked around all day with nothing but my phone and survived, thanks to Apple Pay. Not only did I just survive, I was surprised by how fabulously liberating it felt. Sometimes it’s nice to take a load off and travel light. Not long ago, the idea of carrying nothing but a slender pouch seemed crazy. This is the new normal.

2. Chloé Jane Mini Fringed Suede Bag: Chloé’s multi-colored fringe accents have made for one of the most in-demand pieces of the season, and somehow, I like it even better in structural pouch form.

3. Anndra Neen Two-Tone Cage iPhone Case: The best part of this majorly upgraded “iPhone case” isn’t the fact that it looks cool with just about anything. It’s that you don’t have to open your bag to see who’s texting you.

4. Charlotte Olympia Feline iPhone 6 Case: Sometimes being cute is all you need. A feline friend set to bright red leather and a gold chain-strap feels right for a lighthearted escapade.

5. Stella McCartney Falabella Shimmer Faux Suede Smartphone Crossbody Bag: I’m desiring the Falabella all over again, thanks to this fresh scale. This goes to show good hardware is enough to make a pouch the only accessory you want to carry.

Ladies, your phone deserves a Chanel too, don’t you think? Let’s take a closer look at the Chanel Quilted Phone Holders for this new season.

These phone holders are really stunning and they match to your Chanel bags too – Quilted, embellished with gorgeous tiny CC logo, crafted in lambskin or calfskin, you need to get one.

Like all Chanel favorite accessories, these Phone Holders are not easy to get. We noticed that they’re sold-out in every boutique, so don’t wait for the next visit when you have the opportunity to get one.

When you flip a Chanel Quilted Phone Holder, you will discover something unique. To make the design more interesting and exciting, the fashion house has printed three different playing cards on the back – each marked with the house’s iconic symbols like the lady with hat, CC logo and hearts.

No company can ignore the power of today’s technology; the smartphone has become the essential for our daily life. We’re doing everything on it; alarm clock, calculator, messaging, web surfing, games and so on. And because most of us are carrying the phone all the time, it needs to be designed fashionably, don’t you think?

But wait, Chanel has designed Chanel Phone Holders before, in their previous collection. You can check them out here:

Here’s the news; even tough Chanel has made phone holders before, these are the most classic. They match to your Chanel Classic Flap Bag like twins – the beautiful diamond quilted cover, the gorgeous tiny CC logo, slip this phone holder in your bag.

Just like the two famous leather choices for the Chanel Classic Flap Bag; the lambskin and caviar, these phone holders are available in lambskin or calfskin. Lambskin is for those that desire luxury more than durability. The calfskin is obvious for those that love strong leather.

I know what you’re thinking, could this really be Chanel’s answer to Apple’s iPhone6and iPhone6Plus as far as phone cases are concerned? Well, the truth is, I don’t know, even though they pretty much look as though they will fit both phone models just fine.

New from Chanel’s Pre-Spring 2016 collection and available in either lambskin or calfskin (yay!), it seems like there will be slight differences when it comes to the hardware. If you were to pick lambskin, it will come with a silver-tone hardware CC logo. If you pick calfskin (I would, because it is much hardier), it comes with a gold-tone CC logo. Price wise, they retail for SGD800 and SGD850 respectively for both sizes, which while isn’t exactly cheap by any standards, will not be an issue for hardcore Chanel fans.

And because I haven’t seen either in real life, your guess would be as good as mine on how the inside will work, though I think it would come with some ‘sticky’ surface to adhere your smartphone to, which is pretty much how the ones from Louis Vuitton work.

So, what say you? Are these are a definite yay or would you rather spend on the money on a small SLG from Chanel instead?

Exactly one year ago, Chanel introduced the Phone Holders. They were… very colorful and beautiful, but some people thought they were way overpriced. Honestly, I wouldn’t say ‘no’ if Chanel gave me one. But then again, you could also use it as a small evening shoulder bag.

One thing kept bugging my mind, that is…

‘Chanel, what took you so long?’

Why is everything ‘quilted’, including the recently-introduced Chanel Monster Headphones, but not the Phone Holders?

Well ladies, no worries. They are finally here, presenting Chanel Quilted Phone Holder (I said it with pride! =D).

First of all, everything beautiful at Chanel is never cheap, get used to it. The Quilted Phone Holders come in many colors, crafted in metallic calfskin that gives a shiny effect.

It’s even prettier than the last-years-version, which has a stitched CC logo on the front. The Chanel Quilted Phone Holders are embellished with gorgeous CC logo’s that matches to the color of the leather.

Featuring interlaced chain, the black version is as timeless as the Classic Flap Bag. The interior is made with three phone compartments, measuring 5.9’ x 3.5’ x 1.8’ inches.

For those that love the last-year-version of Chanel Phone Holders, they are back in more colors. The sizes and the leathers are the same.
